Landmarks Curatorial Tour

Landmarks exhibition

Discover over sixty landmark literary maps that have oriented readers for centuries, bringing to life imagined places from Thomas More’s Utopian island to the Stillness supercontinent in N. K. Jemisin’s award-winning science fantasy The Fifth Season.

Join exhibition curator Peter X. Accardo, Houghton Library, and David Weimer, Librarian for Cartographic Collections and Learning at the Harvard Map Collection, for lunchtime and evening tours of the exhibition.

Edison & Newman Room

The room, its programs, and its exhibitions are supported by the generosity of the Edison and Newman families (Bernard A. Edison AB 1949, MBA 1951; Julian I. Edison AB 1951, MBA 1953; Andrew E. Newman AB 1966, MBA 1968). Located on the first floor of Houghton Library, this room serves as a location for a variety of public programs.
